Yes, you can. To listen to Friday's Celtics game on the radio, tune into 98.5 FM The Sports Hub at the time of tip-off, as 98.5 is the flagship station of the Boston franchise, according to their website.

The New York Knicks could be dipping into the trade market to snag a center, with two former Boston Celtics bigs possibly emerging as fits.

The defending NBA champion Boston Celtics suffered their seventh loss of the 2024-2025 season on Monday, when they fell to the Magic in Orlando by a 108-104 final score. Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum was dropped from the Celtics lineup unexpectedly minutes before the tipoff,

Their three wins were blowouts over Detroit, Washington and Chicago. The Pistons and Bulls are fringe playoff teams at best in a watered-down Eastern Conference, and the Wizards are the worst team in the NBA.
